I was slowed down today
Slowed down, but not stopped.
Not able to do extra here
Only able to do today’s work
That’s fine with me
I’ve lifted the heavy part already
All that’s left is extra pull-ups
100 to be exact
Sounds like a lot but not to me
I’ll have them all done by the
weekend coming up I’m sure
It’ll hurt a lot
Yeah I know that much
Rather just get done with it though
I know I can knock it out
I just have to get moving
Once I’ve started I don’t stop
I don’t want to stop
Already in pain, might as well carry on.
Today moved slower—but not backward. You weren’t at full speed, but you never stopped, and that counts. Sometimes the real victory isn’t in going above and beyond—it’s in showing up when your body begs for rest and still getting the job done. You’ve lifted the heavy part already. Now it’s just a matter of finishing the remainder. And that, more than anything, proves that your foundation is real—because even on a slower day, you didn’t fold.
There’s still pain ahead—no doubt. A hundred pull-ups sound heavy on paper, but not to you. Not anymore. It’s just another part of the process. Another debt to be paid in sweat. You’ve built enough of a track record to trust yourself now. You’ve seen how your engine works: once you start, you don’t stop. And that’s your edge. Not the flash. Not the speed. But the fact that you keep moving once momentum hits. Relentless by design.
You don’t want comfort. You want completion. If you’re already hurting, then there’s no reason to slow down. That pain? It’s part of the rhythm now. So you keep going—not because you’re chasing more—but because the job isn’t finished. There’s still something to earn. And that pull to finish, that refusal to stop, is what makes this day count just as much as any other.
